Custom metal stamping dies are precision tooling devices that are designed and manufactured according to the specific needs and requirements of a particular metal stamping application.

Traditional sheet metal manufacturing mode

Traditional sheet metal manufacturing enterprises have a variety of CNC punching machine or punching machine, laser cutting machine, tapping machine, etc., after the completion of bending, welding, grinding, etc., the type and number of equipment are many, processing processes and processing technology complex. When the production capacity of each enterprise is not enough, the primary idea may be to increase equipment, equipment increases, the production site is not enough, and the lease of new plants, labor costs gradually increase, in order to reduce costs in the long term, and then increase the equipment of various automation. The owner of a sheet metal manufacturing company often has a feeling that he is not buying equipment, or on the way to buy equipment.

The more common sheet metal processing technology, first in the CNC punching machine processing completed semi-finished products, and then moved to the laser cutting machine for secondary processing, in order to ensure the accuracy of the product, but also to make special fixtures, after the completion of the material, and then moved to the subsequent process for processing.

The production status of traditional sheet metal processing is a large amount of equipment investment, large site occupation area, many personnel, high management costs, low profit margins. Due to the use of multi-process operation of the production mode, so the need to design a variety of special fixture, fixture storage and storage, secondary clamping, semi-finished products transfer, detention of products in process, etc., the result is a long manufacturing cycle, product accuracy is not high, low production efficiency, production costs and management costs. At the same time, the customer's requirements for product quality are becoming more and more stringent, the delivery time is becoming shorter and shorter, and the service requirements of products are becoming higher and higher. Companies want to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Innovation in sheet metal manufacturing technology

After more than 10 years of accumulation and continuous research and development, continuous improvement, EKO launched a new FLTC series of composite machine tools, as shown in Figure, it can integrate all processing into one machine tool to complete, the punching, stamping, laser cutting, tapping, drilling, chamfering and other processes integration, one processing is completed, is the innovation of sheet metal manufacturing technology.

Main feature

(1) FLTC series composite machine tools have a cutting acceleration of more than 2.0g and a high moving speed of 142m/min, which can achieve high efficiency production.

(2) Laser cutting machine can not achieve roundness requirements within 0.01mm round hole processing, and the punching of FLTC series composite machine tools can perfectly solve this problem.

(3) The traditional processing needs to be moved many times, at any time to do a good job of protecting the surface of the material to prevent scratches, and the FLTC series of composite machine tools through the brush table and forming mold rise function, so that the plate is only in contact with the brush when moving, completely avoiding the scratch on the surface of the material.

(4）FLTC series of composite machine tools can simultaneously achieve 4 different specifications of tapping or drilling.

The processing samples of FLTC series composite machine tools are shown in the following figure:

Main processing technology

(1) In order to ensure the good cutting section and cutting quality of different thickness plates, FLTC series composite machine tools are equipped with automatic adjustment focal length function, because the plate plane has fluctuations, cutting follow function can achieve the same gap between the cutting head and the material, to achieve high quality and high efficiency processing.

(2) In order to ensure the dimensional accuracy and processing stability during composite processing, the working clamp dedicated to FLTC series composite machine tools has been holding the plate until the processing is completed and then released; The brush table ensures that the surface of the material is scratch-free when the laser-former-tapping area is exchanged.

(3) FLTC series composite machine tool adopts multi-station automatic floating mold to ensure the processing quality and accuracy of the formed workpiece. When moving, the mold does not contact with the plate.

(4) Because the tap or drill is manually installed, the FLTC series of composite machine tools can automatically measure the height of the tool, without manual measurement, and can automatically replace 4 different specifications of the tool.

(5) FLTC series composite machine tools have a more user-friendly and more convenient CNC operating system with independent intellectual property rights.

Today, with the continuous update and progress of science and technology, Dongguan Yi Tai Electronic Technologies Co., Ltd. follows the pace of The Times and continues to improve its own strength to bring the best technical services to customers.
